Sunniest Art Deco Citrine Ring Size 6 US 14K Gold 1936
I'm so excited about this one - a 90 year old Art Deco citrine ring in warm 14K gold from 1936, and she is pure architecture for your finger.
The stone is a big step cut citrine of around 1 cm, in the richest honey golden color - like sunlight you can wear. And look at what the goldsmith built around her: stepped shoulders that climb toward the stone like the setbacks of a 1930s skyscraper, and underneath, a delicate openwork gallery that lets the light flood through. That architectural confidence is Art Deco at its very best.
If you have ever wondered how citrine differs from topaz - they are mixed up constantly - I have written about it here: Citrine vs Topaz
She weighs around 4.6 grams and fits like a size 6 US, with a slim comfortable band that lets the stone do all the talking.
Excellent condition with minor signs of age. Please don't wait on this one - Art Deco rings with this much presence never stay long.
